Describe the bug

I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this issue, but I’ve tried deploying the Holodeck stack multiple time, both with the online and offline repositorie, and I keep encountering the same error message.

Reproduction steps

i have try this command :

New-HoloDeckInstance -Version 9.0.1.0 -vSANMode ESA -WorkloadDomainType IsolatedSSO -NsxEdgeClusterMgmtDomain -NsxEdgeClusterWkldDomain -DeploySupervisor

and

New-HoloDeckInstance -Version 9.0.1.0 -vSANMode ESA -WorkloadDomainType IsolatedSSO -NsxEdgeClusterMgmtDomain -NsxEdgeClusterWkldDomain -DeployVcfAutomation -DeploySupervisor

and (i have deploy a offline depot before to try)

New-HoloDeckInstance -Version 9.0.1.0 -vSANMode ESA -WorkloadDomainType IsolatedSSO -NsxEdgeClusterMgmtDomain -NsxEdgeClusterWkldDomain -DeployVcfAutomation -DeploySupervisor -DepotType Offline

Expected behavior

no checksum error

Additional context

No response

The error seems correct. You can login to support.broadcom.com go to the VCF Downloads page > VCF 9.0.1 > VCF Automation and look at the expected checksum matches with the error message that VCF Installer is expecting. Can you check the checksum manually in your offline depot for the vmsp file and ensure it matches with what's given on the support portal? The download may not have gone through fully

i have manually downloaded the .tar and uploaded on my offline vcf depot. now it's better :
